Answer:

The answer to your question is 234.

Explanation:

Alpha emission is a type of radioactive composed on two positive charges and two neutrons, its total mass is 4, the element with these characteristics is Helium.

Then,

        Uranium-238 ⇒   Thorium-234 + Helium-4        

             Because  234 + 4 = 238
